There should be a community oriented towards the genomic emancipation of humanity. There isn't such a community, but there should be. It's a future worth investing our hope in—a future where parents are able to choose to give their future children the gift of genomic foundations for long, healthy, sane, capable lives.
We're inaugurating this community with the Reproductive Frontiers Summit 2025 in Berkeley, CA, June 10—12. Come join us if you want to learn, connect, think, and coordinate about the future of germline engineering technology.

I’d be happy to host an in person event at my group house (Avalon) if you would like
